Industry: Human Resources

Press Release Summary: It sounds easy looking after the front of house or reception,
and might even be seen as glamorous but the truth in reality is very different as we
find out.

Press Release Body: Looking glamorous and having a great smile is what many people
would consider as the main skills required to work as a receptionist or front of
house but these skills are not the main ones potential employers are looking for as
organisational skills, PC literacy, health and safety and even mutli-linguistic
skills are required for some positions. One of the main criteria has to be
communication and tone you engage with people both face to face and on the
telephone. For many businesses having appropriate sounding reception staff is key as
this is first voice customers will hear when they ring the company.
As employers look for improved skills, employees need to deliver those skills
otherwise the two objections are not matched and ever changing receptionists are no
good for any business. This is why specialist recruitment companies have been born
to help bridge the gap and be able to offer employers the exact personnel they are
looking for.
Forties People in London and Watford are a specialist recruitment consultants who
have offer receptionists to companies on a permanent or temporary basis -

Same goes for employees there is no point in looking for a reception job that
requires you to start at 7am if you live an hour from the company. Ensuring all
criteria is matched for both parties is essential for delivering quality jobs for
candidates and ideal candidates to potential employers.
Phones are ringing, a client is waiting to be checked in reception, a courier is
anxious to get a signature on a delivery oh yes, the courier is starting to get
irritated because he has a deadline and the person on the phone is being angry and
abusive...Stressful.
For many getting a job as a receptionist makes sense and for others it will always
be a job they never have the right skills to fulfil.
